Whatta Dinner
Staff and Wire Reports
Monday, June 11, 2007
These are finely tuned professional athletes playing in the NBA Finals, right? Larry Hughes and Damon Jones didn't exactly treat their bodies like temples prior to Game 2 on Sunday night.
Hughes and Jones had a locker room assistant fetch them a meal from Whattaburger, the famous chain fast-food in San Antonio.
Those Cavs love their hamburgers.
I miss Whataburger. :depressed

Its Sooo Good
Whataburger = good stuff. :tu
fancy ketchup is crack...liquid crack.
you must not know much about pro athletes. they have the metabolism that eating junk before the game actually helps them.Quote:

I don't know. I think they're slippin'. They always put that raunchy lettuce and it looks like someone sat on the buns before I get mine. They could stand to be hotter as well.
And when the fries are fresh, they are great. If they've been sitting though, total shit. No middle ground.
I had a Sonic burger not too long ago and it was 10x the burger.
Chris Madrid's :tu
For a while my midwestern friend thought I was saying 'Waterburger'. You just say it that way.
I miss those in the NE. Better than Steak n Shake.
yea...i cant stand when they fuck up the fries. I havent been to whataburger in a few months. But there have been plenty of times when the fries were completely garbage...as if they were yesterdays fries revisited.
Blasphemy! They just got a Steak n Shake here in Austin and I'm thrilled. I've missed that place ever since I lived in Orlando. I do love me some Whataburger though... Whattacatch FTW!Quote:

I'm so happy I live in San Antonio and have 10 Whataburger's within 3 miles.
Blasphemy! (I'm not a fan of sonic, except for their drinks).Quote:

The best burger I've had in San Antonio was $6.85, and from the Magnolia Pancake Haus. The secret? Super-sweet buns. They are awesome, homemade buns, with ground Angus, and fresh toppings.

I urge any burger fan to check it out and let me know what you think.
this guy knows how to eatQuote:

I know Chris Madrid's is in a different class but I still dig it. Fuddrucker's too...enjoy their fries.
I've only had Magnolia's breakfast so far, not their burgers. The wait to get into that place discourages me from going.
I was not impressed by their breakfast the one time I went there... but you're right, the wait might have something to do with that.Quote:

Highly recommended.
FIVE GUYS...best burgers, hands down! They started in the DC area, but are expanding nationwide. Heaven on a bun! :hungry:
what kind of pie?:cooldevilQuote:

The only thing I eat at TC is the Cabana Bowl and that's a rarity. That's another place that has lost its luster with me.
Speaking of Mexican, what is the best Taco place in town?
Taco Cabana? I miss me some Las Palapas and Bill Miller. Ah, Bill Miller...always a spit in the wind away.Quote:

Longhorn is still alive and kick'in and it rocks. Got a second one out on I-10 going to Leon Springs which brings me to my next point. The OG RUDYS!!!! Now that is some good eats! (BBQ BTW)Quote:

Longhorn is still there. I've never been overly impressed with them
PikNik!
I hit all three on my last visit. :)Quote:

If you really want to do it right, and don't mind potentially having a heart attack, then you get a shake as well....Quote:

Fucking NARC....Quote:

I'm probably too much of a bleeding heart to do this sort of thing, but anyway...I get free meals out of it. :spin
If I have a problem with a company whether it is the food service or whatever, I just leave and email the company directlyQuote:

For years, I've seen many car stickers that show people who have the In-n-Out urge.
Whataburger=TRUE TEXAS
Back in college years I worked at the Whataburger in Kingsville. The noon runs were frantic and then being located on the business route whenever a bus would pull in, man. it cranked up to ridiculous.
As I had knowledge of the fries, veggies, buns etc, y'all have it pegged right with the little quirks those items had when they got cold!
haha do spurs fans not dig eating the meat?...haha
In 'N Out FTW!
A bit about WB Catchup...
It's without a doubt the best. Whenever I go I always get extra that I set aside for when I get fries from any other place, and there have also been a few times that I got burgers and fries elsewhere and stopped at WB and told them I forgot to get catchup.
When I go to other places I don't even ask for catchup, I use WB catchup or I use what I have at home.
Not only is it damn good, but you get a lot of catchup when you open one, and they are easy to open, rather than opening a half dozen packets....

I miss chic-fil-a more than any fast food place.
Mmmmmm. That gave me goosebumpies. :toastQuote:

Best dang burger in Texas!!!! I love me some Whataburger !!! :p:
When in Rome ... :blah :blah I wouldn't call TC the place to go for Mexican food for sure .. Azuca's anyone ??? Oh my gosh!!! Their tortilla soup is to die for .. :hungry: Las Palapas has the best beef enchilada's ..Quote:

In-N-Out is the best. Fries are weak but the burgers....double double animal style..... :clap
Captain Georges = Best place to eat in Hampton Roads, hands down.
Anyway, my Histoy teacher loves Whataburger, he used to go on and on about them in class...never had one myself though.
-Mars
Hell yeah...Animal Style, baby! I used to live in SoCal...In-n-Out is the shit...not as good as Five Guys, though...seriously.Quote:

Chris Madrid's overrated!?! Tell me a better burger, cause I gotta get my hands on something that can put Chris Madrid's to shame next time I'm in SA. I've never had a burger anywhere that compares at all to Chris Madrid's cheddar cheezy.Quote:

San Antonio has shitty mexican food. I've only been here for two years though, so maybe I havent been looking in the right place. I don't usually venture out of the northwest side.
You obviously haven't been to the REAL Mexican food restaurants... :rolleyesQuote:

When I lived in Virginia, there was this little family-owned Mexican restaurant called "El Paso" right down the road from my house that had food that was off the chain...damn, I miss those tacos al pastor! :hungry:
the last two weekends we went to Corpus Christi to the beach for the weekend. they have the "Original" Whataburger right across the beach and for some reason THAT Whataburger tastes really amazing! sooo good we went there both times we were in CC :) and there's an elevator inside! :spin

Check out La Tortillita on FM 78. Technically not in S.A., but close enough.Quote:
